Homeschooling parents whose children learn differently often find themselves wondering what resources are available to them and how to take advantage of those resources. Join Gretchen Roe and Meredith Taylor for a discussion on where to begin and how to flourish. Parents will learn practical advice and also how SCAIHS could support them in their journey.

Show Notes

Meredith Taylor, special needs consultant from SCAIHS (South Carolina Association of Independent Homeschools), and I had a terrific chat about supporting special needs families in their journeys. You will find in the video that Meredith encourages families to explore many possibilities and to keep as many doors open as possible. She provides insight into considering therapies as part of the academic experience so as not to overwhelm the child or caregiver. More information about SCAIHS and the programs they provide can be found on their website; you don’t have to be a resident of South Carolina to take advantage of the support they offer.
